Registered Childminder With Special Needs Experience Job In Newport
About Me
Frantically busy single mum with chronic health problems, trying to raise my lovely but chaotic 9yr old autistic nonverbal boy while helping out my aging parents who we live with.
My Requirements
Looking for a babysitter or childminder with SEN/ALN experience ideally, and most certainly needs to be physically fit and capable. My 9yr old boy is very active and demanding with limited danger awareness, so prospective childminders must be trained in how to safely lift/carry in a care role (in case he eg gets stuck on top of a climbing frame, sits down in a cycle lane etc). Applicants need to be keen to do physical activities with him such as long park walks, rollerskating, swimming etc - I will pay any activity fees myself but as a wheelchair user I'm limited in what I can do with him! I've put down all days/times except Sunday but you will not be needed on all these slots. Instead, short notice availability at random times is appreciated; ie expect occasional texts pleading "everyone has flu except the child and he is destroying the house, can you please take him out to burn off energy"

Princess is a blessing to our family, I've been able to go to work events and go out for my birthday knowing my autistic and globally delayed little boy will be excited to have an evening with her. When I injured my foot during summer holidays she took him to the park so i could rest, and she's transformed her own garden into a safe play wonderland. My boy seems disappointed to come home!
